Getting close to the finish line.  360X1 is a Rep PR.  Felt like I could have kept doing singles here all day.  Feeling good about where my squat is heading into the meet.

225X1 is a Rep PR in the bench, and a long time coming.  Closest I got was doubling 215 in March of '14.  Then I hurt my shoulder, then I ignored my shoulder, then I didn't bench for a full year.  Nice to finally get this one checked off the list.


Because of some issues I've been having with my "good" shoulder, and because my deadlift has been progressing so slowly, coach decided to switch to Speed Deads for the last couple of weeks instead of cleans.  We'll see if it helps.
